![]() Including it in your headline would only make it redundant. LinkedIn already provides this info in the search results. With regards to the company name, there is no need to include that in your headline. Therefore you should enhance your title with strong, searchable keywords. Titles may also be lacking in keyword power. If you happen to have a very specific title and work at a well-known company, I still advise crafting a new headline. Therefore you need to intentionally brand your headline so you appear to be the perfect fit. It is simply pulling information that may or may not be helpful to the recruiters or hiring managers searching for you. The headline LinkedIn provides, while effortless, is not a branding strategy. Therefore, avoid using the “headline” they provide and create your own from scratch. If you happen to have a stale job title, recruiters/hiring managers will not be compelled to click on your profile. This is nice of LinkedIn to do but not entirely helpful for your brand. By having a complete profile, you are contributing to the value LinkedIn aims to provide its users. LinkedIn does this in order to help your profile appear more complete. If you don’t update the LinkedIn headline, LinkedIn will pull your most recent job title and company from the Experience section. ![]() One of the biggest branding mistakes people make when changing careers or re-entering the workforce, is not updating the LinkedIn headline. What happens if you don’t edit your LinkedIn headline? Therefore, it’s important to spend some time getting it absolutely right. This statement will determine how you are perceived by hiring managers and recruiters at any given point in your career. While the headline is fairly easy to create, it can just as easily be overlooked. ![]() This simple statement should summarize your entire professional brand. Your LinkedIn headline communicates who you are, what you do and whether or not you have potential to be the best person for the job. In a day and age where we can communicate a mouthful via one tweet, the impact of this small profile part shouldn’t come as a surprise. You might be wondering how a simple one-liner can be so powerful. What your LinkedIn headline communicates in under 5 seconds Only if your Administrative Assistant headline and photo are compelling, will they click into your profile to learn more. Therefore, you can’t afford to get your Administrative Assistant headline wrong. Similar to the 6-second resume scan, recruiters will only skim the list of candidates in search of the right one. Recruiters and hiring managers search the same way. You are likely spending less than a few seconds scanning each person’s headline. When you’re quickly skimming your search results, do you spend a whole lot of time clicking into every profile and learning more? No. If you think about how you search for other people, this will make more sense. These two profile parts are your first impression whenever your profile appears in searches. Why? Because they are the only profile parts someone will see when scrolling through a list of returned LinkedIn search results. Your LinkedIn photo and headline are your two most important profile parts. Why your Administrative Assistant LinkedIn headline is so important for attracting employers If you are lacking in these skills, there are always ample opportunities to gain them from volunteering. We can work with that to make the job connection for employers. You may not have done the job but you certainly have used the skills. After all – you haven’t actually done the job in a corporate environment. However it may be intimidating to go from “stay at home mom” to Administrative Assistant. Whatever the reason, admin roles provide a low barrier to entry. After having taken time off to care for an elderly parent or raise kids, coordinating a lot of moving parts comes naturally! So what better way to pivot into a role that does just this! Other professionals I meet are seeking less responsibility than the years spent in the Wall Street grind or less of a commute. ![]() There are many reasons for this but one of the most popular reasons I’ve encountered, is simply they have realized that they thrive in this type of work. Many 50-plus career changers and re-entry professionals I meet target Administrative Assistant roles as a way to re-enter the workforce. Administrative Assistant jobs – the perfect re-entry or pivot roles! If you aren’t getting it right, you may not be capturing recruiter / hiring manager attention. In this blog post, we’ll explain why your LinkedIn headline is so important and how to fully optimize your LinkedIn Administrative Assistant headline to create a stellar first impression. ![]() It becomes even more important if you are changing careers or re-entering the workforce. The LinkedIn headline is one of the most important LinkedIn profile parts. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Not only does the stain look great, my wife and I don’t have to spend and entire weekend,or two, staining the fence ourselves.Thanks again for another great fence and when I move into my next house,if it needs a fence, you’ll be hearing from me again. I’m sooo glad that the salesman mentioned that option to me. Installs, maintains and repairs electronic access control systems such as automatic electrical controlled vehicular gates, accessible electronic door openers. ![]() When my last fence was installed, your company didn’t offer fence components that were pre-stained (I don’t think any company did). If you own a residential or commercial gate and you need help with swing hinges, sliding track, or even the intercom, we're here for you. Our Plano driveway gates are very economical, as well as beautiful Ask us about manual, automatic, electric, or even our solar gate operators in Plano. As the leading driveway gate pros near Plano, TX, we take pride in helping every customer in need. They told me they would be back first thing Friday to do the actual nailing of the fence and sure enough, they were here bright and early. Driveway gates in Plano are usually built large enough to allow equipment, such as a boat or a jet ski, into the backyard or side of house. After chatting a bit, the crew got busy and had my old fence down and new steel fence poles set in place shortly after lunch. when the crew showed up on Tuesday to remove the old fence and set the poles for the new fence I can’t tell you how pleased I was when I recognized the installer as the same person who put up my fence 13 years ago. ( I think the 1st fence was in 80 or 81). ![]() I had used Ace on the previous two fences, the most recent of which was in 1996. I just moved into my 3rd home in the Dallas area and as with the previous two, this one needed a new fence. ![]() ![]() ![]() Securing six 100-hectare grassland parcels could cost an estimated $30 million, and in total, the entire conservation program could cost $56 million over ten years. Wintle and Bekessy write that scientists must achieve three key things to protect the newly found dragon population: breed enough diverse individuals to return to the wild, protect sizable and quality habitats and reduce threats within these areas as the lizards are reintroduced.Īt least six separate self-sustaining populations will be needed for the dragon to survive through at least the next 50 years, they write in the Conversation. The dragons only live in Australia’s basalt plains grasslands ecosystem, which is critically endangered, having declined by more than 97 percent since the pre-European era because of agriculture and housing development, per the Conversation. The Victorian earless dragon's grassland habitat is a critically endangered ecosystem.Įlizabeth Donoghue via Flickr under CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 Since the dragons’ life span is only about two years, their population is more susceptible to threats from predators, extreme weather events and habitat loss, Garry Peterson, general manager of threatened species at Zoos Victoria, tells the Herald. The lizards live and lay their eggs in abandoned spider burrows. They reach about six inches in length when fully grown-about the length of an iPhone-and they lack external ear openings, which earned them their name. Victorian earless dragons ( Tympanocryptis pinguicolla ) are small, light-brown lizards with three white stripes running down their bodies. “This is probably the most endangered reptile in the world, with only 16 verified individuals in safe care, so to be able to work with an animal like this is both an incredible challenge and incredible opportunity.” ![]() “Dragons are a big deal, and to have such an endangered dragon in our population is just something that makes us incredibly excited,” Zoos Victoria chief executive Jenny Gray tells the Herald. ![]() The Melbourne Zoo, part of Zoos Victoria, is also working to bring back other species from the brink of extinction, including Baw Baw frogs, golden-rayed blue butterflies, Lord Howe Island stick insects and spotted tree frogs. The conservation organization has been actively looking for the dragons since 2017, writes Donna Lu for the Guardian. Over the past four months, scientists have found and collected 16 of the reptiles to participate in a breeding program, which will be run by Zoos Victoria. Australia is investing $188,000 in a project using trained detection dogs to sniff out more of the animals, per the statement. Since then, scientists have been tallying the species’ population size by conducting surveys at the site of the find, which has not been disclosed to protect the creatures from the public. In February, two early career ecologists snapped a photo of the lizard and sent it off to a reptile expert in the state of Victoria, who identified the animal as the critically endangered dragon, writes Annika Smethurst for the Sydney Morning Herald. jtOyTe2JHx- Tanya Plibersek June 25, 2023 One hasn’t been seen in Victoria for over 50 years and was thought to be extinct in the wild - until now. This little guy is a Victorian grassland earless dragon. “The rediscovery of a species thought to be extinct inspires hope of finding other lost treasures like the tiger.” “This is an extraordinary second chance,” write conservation ecologist Brendan Wintle and urban ecologist Sarah Bekessy in the Conversation. The reptile, called the Victorian grassland earless dragon, was once commonly found in the region, but its numbers were decimated by habitat loss and predators such as foxes and feral cats, per a statement from the Australian government. A tiny earless lizard thought to be extinct in the wild has been spotted for the first time in more than 50 years in grasslands west of Melbourne, Australia. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Suetonius notes that ‘beyond all others, Caesar loved Servilia’. However, Cleopatra was not the only of Caesar’s mistresses to employ charm to influence the dictator’s power in her favour. This was, however, not without limits and Caesar’s refusal to legitimise her son marks a clear boundary to the influence she held over him. Evident in her rise to prominence, Cleopatra shows some control over the immense political personality of Julius Caesar. Therefore, Cleopatra’s influence over Caesar through their personal relationship was not unlimited. Indeed, Suetonius records that when the question of paternity reached the Roman Senate, Gaius Oppius ‘published a book to prove that the boy whom Cleopatra had fathered on Caesar was not his at all’, despite opposition from Antony. Despite her incredibly close relationship with the dictator towards the end of his life, and the disputed levels of recognition he granted Caesarion, Caesar’s final will would name his grand-nephew, Octavian, as his primary heir, with no recognition of Caesarion. ![]() Yet there were limits to Cleopatra’s influence over her lover and the greatest test of her power over Caesar would be her attempts have her son legitimised. If publicly legitimised, the child would inherit a legacy of rule over the entire Mediterranean. Even unrecognized claims to Caesar’s legacy held by Caesarion were unsettling for Octavian. Debates, both ancient and modern, over the paternity of Caesarion show the undeniable political ramifications that would emerge from a direct male heir to Julius Caesar. The immense political awareness of the Egyptian Queen is revealed in her unwavering determination to have her child recognised as a legitimate son of Caesar. This plan succeeded in having Caesar secure her power-base in Egypt and honour her as a ‘friend and ally of Rome’. The initiation of the relationship was a carefully orchestrated stratagem, exploiting Caesar’s ‘well-known weakness for women of attraction’. Kleiner emphasises that Cleopatra’s interactions with Caesar were far from coincidence. It was thus through her personal influence over Caesar that she could exploit his political power and subsequently claim rule of Egypt. By the end of Caesar’s military intervention in Egypt, Cleopatra held a firm grip on the throne which she shared, in title only, with her 12 year old brother. Nor could it be coincidence that following this encounter, Caesar embarks on restoring the then dethroned Queen to the rule of Egypt. It was not by mere coincidence that Cleopatra found herself in Caesar’s close company. Plutarch records the Egyptian Queen’s elaborate introduction to Caesar by way of ‘bed-sack’, following which Caesar is said to have been ‘captivated… succumbing to the charm of further intercourse with her’. It was her personal influence over him that allowed her to direct his political decisions. It was through her close proximity to Caesar’s that Cleopatra was able to influence his great political presence with her personal charms. The machinations of Cleopatra have captivated audiences through to the present day, equally did they ‘captivate’ the most powerful man in the quickly fading Roman Republic. Ultimately, however, it would be the political manoeuvring of his mother, Aurelia, that would shape Caesar into the ‘colossus’ of Rome. While the wives of Caesar played their parts in his rise to power, it was his mistresses, namely Cleopatra VII and Servilia, who would flex their influence over his personal and political life. Caesar was a pragmatic, almost unmatched politician, which may be the reason why his greatest influencers, those who sought to mould his immense power and success, were the members of republican society who themselves could never take public office. ‘Julius Caesar remains one of a handful of figures from the ancient world whose name commands instant recognition’, but the man who so drastically shaped the western world was himself influenced by the powerful women who featured prominently in his life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also in 2015, Monster Jam started its first stadium tour.

If they fail to do so, they will receive a score of 0. In 2020, Monster Jam introduced a rule in which a truck must complete 30 seconds to qualify for an eligible score. The freestyle competition allows drivers two minutes (one-and-a-half minutes for arena shows) on an open floor to show off their skills as they drive the trucks over ramps and junked cars, performing stunts and tricks with their trucks. The truck with the highest score at the end of the event wins that particular competition. The two-wheel skills winner is determined by attendees voting via a score tracking website. They can also choose to perform donuts or cyclones as an alternative. This competition consists of trucks performing their best moves on two wheels for two attempts. The two-wheel skills competition was introduced in late 2017. Racing is traditional heads-up tournament racing, where the first truck to cross the finish line moves onto the next round the final race of the night is for that particular event's championship.
